After a successful year in 2004, herbie decided it was time to make the leap from local Central PA band to regional touring act. With an impressive performance schedule including dates from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia, as well as appearances in DE, MD, NJ, NY and VA, the band shows no signs of slowing down. Among it's impressive list of notable venues is The Funk Box (Baltimore, MD), Kenny's Castaways (New York, NY), The Chameleon Club (Lancaster, PA), Dragonfly (Harrisburg, PA), and Grape Street Philadelphia (Philadelphia, PA). However, the band still appeals to an ever-growing fan base in it's native Central PA, having appeared at the prestigious Patriot-News ArtsFest on multiple occasions, as well as The American Music Festival. It's music also appears regularly on commercial radio throughout the region, including Central PA's three most recognized stations: WTPA 93.5 FM, WQXA 105.7 FM and WRVV 97.3 FM. The band is also a big hit on college campuses, having performed at colleges and universities throughout PA, NJ and MD. Herbie (and it's parent company, Herbie Entertainment Group) is also a member of NACA, the National Association of Campus Activities. Herbie's live show is fun, energetic and diverse. Says Fly Magazine, "Within the constraints of an hour and a half set, herbie manages to evoke just about every music style one could possibly imagine. Anywhere from Edgar Winter to ELP, Phish to Rush, Sublime, Steely Dan and beyond, the band takes an encyclopedic trip down the past 30 years of good music." It is not uncommon for the band to mix original songs and cover tunes with stretched out improvisational passages and impromptu musical interludes. The band is truly in it's element on the stage, and the members of herbie consider themselves first and foremost a live band. Herbie is indeed "at home" when performing live on stage, and audiences everywhere know it. Herbie is optimistic and looks to the future with an eagerness and hunger that is seldom found even in considerably younger bands. The band hopes to expand it's regional fan base and eventually break into the national touring and festival markets, where other similar jam-style bands have prospered. Herbie is currently hard at work composing new original material that will not only showcase it's unique musical chemistry, but also it's eclecticism and versatile approach to songwriting..
